2 Kingi 3

1 Na i timata a Iehorama tama a Ahapa hei kingi mo Iharaira i Hamaria i te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Iehohapata kingi o Hura, a kotahi tekau ma rua nga tau i kingi ai ia.

Nowe Iehoram the sonne of Ahab beganne to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, the eighteenth yeere of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, and reigned twelue yeeres.

2 A i mahi kino ia i te aroaro o Ihowa; otiia kihai i rite ki ta tona papa, ki ta tona whaea: i whakakahoretia hoki e ia te pou o Paara i hanga e tona papa.

And he wrought euill in the sight of the Lord, but not like his father nor like his mother: for he tooke away the image of Baal that his father had made.

3 Heoi i piri ia ki nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira: kihai era i whakarerea e ia.

Neuerthelesse, he cleaued vnto the sinnes of Ieroboam, the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne, and departed not therefrom.

4 Na he kaitiaki hipi a Meha kingi o Moapa: a, ko tana takoha ki te kingi o Iharaira, ko nga huruhuru o nga reme kotahi rau mano, o nga hipi toa kotahi rau mano.

Then Mesha King of Moab had store of sheepe, and rendred vnto the King of Israel an hundreth thousande lambes, and an hundreth thousande rammes with the wooll.

5 I te matenga ia o Ahapa, ka whakakeke te kingi o Moapa ki te kingi o Iharaira.

But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab rebelled against the King of Israel.

6 Na haere atu ana a Kingi Iehorama i taua wa i Hamaria, a taua ana e ia a Iharaira katoa.

Therefore King Iehoram went out of Samaria the same season, and nombred all Israel,

7 Na haere ana ia, a unga tangata ana ki a Iehohapata kingi o Hura hei ki atu, Kua whakakeke te kingi o Moapa ki ahau: tera ranei koe e haere i ahau ki te whawhai ki a Moapa? Na ka mea tera, Ka haere ahau; he rite tonu ahau ki a koe, toku iwi ki to u iwi, aku hoiho ki au hoiho.

And went, and sent to Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, saying, The King of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou goe with me to battell against Moab? And he answered, I will goe vp: for I am, as thou art, my people, as thy people, and mine horses as thine horses.

8 I mea ano ia, Ma tehea ara taua? A ka mea tera, Ma te ara i te koraha o Eroma.

Then said he, What way shall we goe vp? And he answered, The way of the wildernesse of Edom.

9 Heoi haere ana te kingi o Iharaira, me te kingi o Hura, me te kingi o Eroma: a i haere taiawhio ratou, e whitu nga ra: na kahore he wai mo te ope, mo nga kararehe ranei e whai ana i a ratou.

So went the King of Israel and the king of Iudah, and the King of Edom, and when they had compassed the way seuen dayes, they had no water for the hoste, nor for the cattell that followed them.

10 Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira, Aue, kua karangatia nei e Ihowa enei kingi tokotoru kia hoatu ki te ringa o Moapa!

Therefore the King of Israel sayde, Alas, that the Lord hath called these three Kings, to giue them into the hand of Moab.

11 Na ka mea a Iehohapata, Kahore ianei i konei tetahi poropiti a Ihowa hei uinga ma tatou i ta Ihowa? Na ka whakahoki tetahi o nga tangata a te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Kei konei a Eriha tama a Hapata, nana ra i riringi te wai ki nga ringa o Irai a.

But Iehoshaphat saide, Is there not here a Prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire of the Lord by him? And one of the King of Israels seruants answered, and said, Here is Elisha the sonne of Shaphat, which powred water on the handes of Eliiah.

12 Na ka mea a Iehohapata, Kei a ia te kupu a Ihowa. Na haere ana te kingi o Iharaira ratou ko Iehohapata, ko te kingi o Eroma ki a ia.

Then Iehoshaphat saide, The worde of the Lord is with him. Therefore the King of Israel, and Iehoshaphat, and the King of Edom went downe to him.

13 Na ka mea a Eriha ki te kingi o Iharaira, He aha taku ki a koe? Haere ki nga poropiti a tou papa, i nga poropiti a tou whaea. A ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki a ia, Kati ra: kua karangatia hoki enei kingi e toru e Ihowa kia hoatu ki te ringa o Mo apa.

And Elisha sayde vnto the King of Israel, What haue I to doe with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father and to the prophets of thy mother. And the King of Israel saide vnto him, Nay: for the Lord hath called these three Kings, to giue them into the hande of Moab.

14 Ano ra ko Eriha, E ora ana a Ihowa o nga mano e tu nei ahau ki tona aroaro, ina, me i kahore toku whakaaro ki te mata o Iehohapata kingi o Hura, e kore ahau e titiro ki a koe, e kore ano e kite i a koe.

Then Elisha said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, in whose sight I stande, if it were not, that I regarde the presence of Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah, I woulde not haue looked towarde thee, nor seene thee.

15 Otira tikina atu ki ahau aianei tetahi kaiwhakatangi hapa. A, i te whakatangihanga a te kaiwhakatangi, na kua tae mai ki a ia te ringa o Ihowa.

But nowe bring me a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came vpon him.

16 Na ka mea ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Meinga tenei raorao kia kapi i te waikeri.

And he saide, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches.

17 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, E kore koutou e kite i te hau, e kore e kite i te ua, otira ka ki tenei raorao i te wai; a ka inu koutou, a koutou kahui, me a koutou kararehe.

For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall neither see winde nor see raine, yet the valley shalbe filled with water, that ye may drinke, both ye and your cattel, and your beastes.

18 Na he mea iti noa tenei ki ta Ihowa titiro: ka homai ano hoki e ia nga Moapi ki to koutou ringa.

But this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: for he will giue Moab into your hande.

19 A ka patua e koutou nga pa taiepa katoa, me nga pa pai katoa, ka tuaina hoki nga rakau pai katoa, ka tanumia nga poka wai katoa, a ko nga mara pai hoki ka takakinotia ki te kohatu.

And ye shall smite euery strong towne and euery chiefe citie, and shall fell euery faire tree, and shall stoppe all the fountaines of water, and marre euery good fielde with stones.

20 Na i te ata, i te tapaenga o te whakahere totokore, he wai te puta ana i te ara o Eroma, a kapi ana te whenua i te wai.

And in the morning whe the meat offring was offred, beholde, there came water by the way of Edom: and the countrey was filled with water.

21 A, no te rongonga o nga Moapi katoa kua tae ake aua kingi ki te whawhai ki a ratou, ka huihui ratou, nga mea e ahei te whitiki, me te hunga i kaumatua ake, a tu ana i te rohe.

And when al the Moabites heard that the Kings were come vp to fight against them, they gathered all that was able to put on harnesse, and vpwarde, and stood in their border.

22 A ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, ka whiti te ra ki runga ki te wai, a ka kite nga Moapi i te wai i te ritenga atu ki a ratou, ura tonu me he toto:

And they rose earely in the morning, when the sunne arose vpon the water, and the Moabites saw the water ouer against them, as red as blood.

23 A ka mea ratou, He toto tenei: koia rawa ano kua tukitukia nga kingi, kua patua ratou e ratou ano: hoatu aianei, e Moapa, ki te muru taonga!

And they saide, This is blood the Kings are surely slaine, and one hath smitten another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoyle.

24 Na, i to ratou taenga ki te puni o Iharaira, ko te whakatikanga o Iharaira, patua iho nga Moapi, a rere ana ratou i to ratou aroaro: na haere tonu ratou ki roto ki te whenua me te patu haere i nga Moapi.

And when they came to the host of Israel, the Israelites arose vp, and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them, but they inuaded them, and smote Moab.

25 Na tukitukia ana e ratou nga pa; maka ana e ratou tana kohatu, tana kohatu, ki nga wahi pai katoa a kapi noa; tanumia ana nga puna wai katoa; tuaina ana hoki nga rakau pai katoa; kei Kiriharehete rawa anake ka waiho e ratou o reira kohatu: otiia i taiawhiotia tera e nga kaipiu kohatu, patua iho.

And they destroyed the cities: and on all the good field euery man cast his stone, and filled them and they stopt all the fountaines of water, and felled all the good trees: onely in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof: howebeit they went about it with slings, and smote it.

26 A, no te kitenga o te kingi o Moapa, kua pakeke rawa te whawhai mana, ka mau ia ki etahi tangata e whitu rau, he hunga unu hoari, hei hoa mona, hei wahi atu ki te kingi o Eroma. Otiia kihai i taea.

And when the King of Moab saw that the battel was too sore for him, he tooke with him seuen hudreth men that drew the sword, to break through vnto the King of Edom: but they could not.

27 Katahi ia ka mau ki tana matamua, ko ia nei hei kingi i muri i a ia, a tapaea ana hei whakahere ki runga ki te taiepa. A nui atu te morikarika ki a Iharaira: na ka mahue ia i a ratou, a hoki ana ki to ratou whenua.

Then he tooke his eldest sonne, that should haue reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offring vpon the wall: so that Israel was sore grieued, and they departed from him, and returned to their countrey.
